Board members, bond on Tuesday's ballot

CARLSBAD  Tuesday, Feb. 1, is Election Day in Carlsbad with a heavy emphasis placed on the future of education in the Carlsbad Municipal Schools.

Voters from CMS Districts 2 and 4 will choose who will represent them on the Carlsbad Board of Education.

In Dist. 4, incumbent Angela Campos faces challenger Andrew L. Harris, while in Dist. 2 newcomers Abel A. Montoya and Edward S. Hinojos Sr. compete as write-in candidates for the seat now held by Martin Dorado. Both elections are for four-year terms.

Voters from across the school district will also decide whether or not to continue an existing $7 million general obligation bond. Officials hope to use bond monies to fund updates and improvements to the district's aging facilities.
